After dinner with his father, Meng Zitao went back to his room, couldn't wait to take out the box, and looked at it carefully.
Soon, Meng Zitao discovered the mystery of the box. It turned out that the inside of the box was obviously much higher than the real bottom of the box. As expected, the thing should be placed in the mezzanine at the bottom.
Next, it was time to take out the things, but what puzzled Meng Zitao was that there were no gaps on either the surface or the inside of the box.
Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao murmured: "You are not asking me to open the box, are you?"
Meng Zitao thought about it and gave up the idea. If the items inside were worth ten or twenty thousand, he might do this, but for two thousand, forget it.
What if the items inside have been taken? What if it was just a prank?
Therefore, Meng Zitao will definitely not use violent means unless it is absolutely necessary.
After thinking about it, Meng Zitao still felt that there should be some clues. Then, he observed carefully again, and this time he simply touched it from the outside to the inside bit by bit. As a result, as soon as his fingers touched the bottom of the box, he noticed something strange. The smoothness of the bottom of the box does not look like it was formed naturally.
Discovering this, Meng Zitao observed again and found that it looked exactly like the real huanghuali. If it weren't for the feeling of his hands that couldn't lie, he would have thought that he was hallucinating.
So, Meng Zitao hurriedly went to get a strong-light flashlight, and then he discovered that the bottom was coated with a layer of paint or something. He couldn't help but marveled, and thought to himself, some of the skills of the ancients were really amazing, but it's a pity. Unfortunately, many of them have been lost.
After discovering this, Meng Zitao was still a little hesitant, fearing that even after going to this layer of matter, he still wouldn't find it. But after a moment, he laughed at himself, why was he so hesitant? If he was like this, he could find a reason no matter what, so when could he take things out?
With this in mind, Meng Zitao went to get a tool to remove this layer of material, but found that doing so would easily damage the wood. He thought about it and found that there seemed to be some paint remover at home, so he was ready to give it a try.
I used a little paint remover and found that it really worked. Meng Zitao carefully removed it bit by bit. After working like this for half an hour, the layer of stuff was finally removed.
Then, he began to observe carefully again. After a while, he found a gap in the middle of the bottom of the box, which might be thinner than a hair.
Meng Zitao quickly took out a suitable tool and opened it along the gap. Hearing a "click" sound, a piece of wood a little smaller than a palm jumped up.
Meng Zitao was overjoyed and quickly picked up the board. What he saw was a folded paper, half a jade pendant, and something that seemed to be wood powder. Not surprisingly, these powders should be moisture-proof. role.
Seeing this, Meng Zitao quickly put on his gloves and took out the paper. What surprised him was that he didn't know what the paper was made of. It was tougher than ordinary paper and thinner than kraft paper. He used to I really haven¡¯t seen it before.
After studying the paper for a while, Meng Zitao opened it. When he saw the content on the paper, a look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face.
I saw that there was actually a very sloppy sketch drawn on the paper. The mountains didn¡¯t look like mountains, and the water didn¡¯t look like water. I really can¡¯t praise this painter. Even some children in kindergarten can draw better than the author.
The key point is that the painting is not good, there is not even a text message, which makes Meng Zitao curse, this is not really a prank played by someone as he thought before, right?
After thinking for a long time, Meng Zitao didn't understand what the content on this piece of paper meant. He shook his head and simply didn't think about it anymore, so he took out the half of the jade pendant to observe.
This jade pendant is carved from blue and white jade. The material is not very good. Since there is only half a piece, it can only be seen that it is the shape of a dragon's head, and the image of the dragon is very similar to the style of the Han Dynasty.
But there is nothing surprising about this, because if he read correctly, this should have been made in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. At that time, under the influence of Qianlong, many jade carvings had the shadow of the Han Dynasty.
However, what makes Meng Zitao feel strange is that the carving of this jade pendant is very exquisite. It should not be carved by ordinary craftsmen. Moreover, judging from the fracture of this jade pendant, it should be broken by someone. Why is this?
An unknown picture, a jade pendant with exquisite carving, poor jade quality, and artificial damage caused countless question marks to rise in Meng Zitao's mind.
What is this?What kind of treasure map is it? But with the situation in front of me, who knows where the treasure is hidden, there is not even a clue. Or do you have to collect all the remaining jade pendants before clues will appear?
Meng Zitao thought for a while, then put all the problems in his mind aside and stopped thinking about it, because even if it was what he thought, the world is so big, where would he find the remaining fragments of the jade pendant? Besides, it has been such a long time, who knows whether the remaining jade pendants have returned to dust and dust.
So, if you want to collect all the jade pendants, you must have incredible luck. Maybe when my luck improves to such a high level, it will still be possible, but for now, I'd better forget it.
¡¡¡¡
In the next few days, Meng Zitao lived a very ordinary life. He spent some time every day practicing boxing and learning antique appreciation. The rest of the time, he went to the antique street and chatted with Wang Zhixuan and a few friends, which was very pleasant.
During this period, Meng Zitao also met Xue Wenguang several times. Xue Wenguang showed no other expression except that he looked a little unkind. This made Meng Zitao relax a little. For him, the later the other party discovered that there was something wrong with the statue, the better it would be for him.
In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday again. Meng Zitao got up very early this day, just after twelve o'clock in the morning. This was because today there was the ghost market held four times a year in Ling City.
As mentioned above, although the antique market in Ling City is not big, it is small and well-equipped. It even has ghost markets that are generally only found in big cities.
However, because the place is small, there are only four times a year, and the time is set on the first Sunday in March, June, September and December every year.
Every time at this time, it is like a festival for antique lovers in Ling City. As long as they have nothing to do and can get out of bed, they rush to the antique market early in the morning to search for treasures.
Meng Zitao washed himself, ate something to fill his stomach, and after getting ready, he went out and rode his bicycle to the antique street.
No one knows when the ghost market existed and how it came about.
Some people say this, and some say that, but generally speaking, in the past, when a wealthy family's financial situation deteriorated, the family members exchanged some of their belongings for money to spend. If they went to a pawn shop, they were afraid of being laughed at, so they took advantage of the darkness to Sell ??it secretly.
???????????????????????????? There are also some people from poor families, or people who pick up garbage, and are pickpockets. The things of these people usually cannot be put on the market, or they come from shady sources. It is not convenient to sell them during the day, so they are sold in the ghost market.
¡°In addition, the places where these things were sold in the past were all in the wilderness, and every stall was lit with a kerosene lamp, candle, soybean oil lamp, etc. Looking from a distance, the lights are flickering, and there are people buying and selling people moving around. They look vague and indistinct. Those who don't know about it will be shocked by the formation.
??????????????????????? Over time, people come and go, and people who love nicknames call this kind of market ¡°Ghost Market¡±.
Now, the ghost market has also undergone great changes. It has become an antique and flea market, and stalls can also be set up during the day. However, some things are still inherited. For example, the ghost market with dragons and snakes has not changed much.
Because he arrived early, when Meng Zitao came to the antique street, most of the vendors had just started selling. However, many customers had already come, and many people were gearing up to buy good things.
There is no other way. Antique Taobao is all about striking first. If you don¡¯t come early, your turn will only be scraps.
After Meng Zitao walked into the antique street, like everyone else, he hurriedly browsed the stalls, but after browsing several stalls in a row, he didn't find anything he was satisfied with.
In fact, this is normal. Although there are many good things in the ghost market, it is still relatively speaking. If it is a good thing that can be seen at a glance, there are many sales channels, so why bother to sell it in the ghost market.
And just like playing in the market, the water here is very deep. If you really want to talk about it, the water in the ghost market is even deeper.
The reason is, I believe it is not difficult for everyone to guess the origin of the ghost market. Dragons and snakes are mixed here, and some people are even tomb robbers. There are many ruthless people among these people. Therefore, in the ghost market Taobao, knowledgeable people are generally cautious in their words and deeds. Even if they find something they like, they have to confirm it again and again before asking for a price.
Meng Zitao sighed slightly after looking at the items on several stalls.
Due to the popularity of TV treasure appraisal programs and the development of the Internet, countless stories of people picking up treasures and getting rich have been retold, making the antique market prosperous like never before, but this has also led to fewer and fewer good things in the antique market.
¡° Just like the goods in the ghost market, Meng Zitao, who just entered the industry four years ago, can still often see things that make him excited, but every year from now on it becomes worse than the previous year. This year, even Meng Zitao, who has just entered the industry, probably won't see a few things that catch his eye.
Walking to the fourth stall, Meng Zitao finally saw something decent, an ivory folding fan with carved floral patterns.
Since ivory is a prohibited item, it will be subject to some restrictions on market sales. However, generally only ivory products made before the 1990s can be sold, but formal venues still need certification. In addition, these kinds of things are no longer available for auction, so the price will of course be affected.

This year, even Meng Zitao, who has just entered the industry, probably won't see a few things that catch his eye.
